Crab with weebly eyes.

It's Summer holiday! Hooray!

My husband and I are working a few days at the renovation of our house so the littlest member of the family can sleep in her own bedroom soon!

That's why the kids are going to the day-care. Lucky for them - they have a lovely garden (ours should be finished somewhere in August -finally) and the lady who runs the day-care does lovely creative activities with the kids. All toddlers up to 3 years.

1) Cut out the beach out of the sandy colored paper.
2) Glue it on to the blue paper (the sea)
3) Paint one and red
4) Print it on the beach, make sure the thumb is upwards.
5) Paint the other hand red
6) Print it against/a little over the first hand, make sure the thumb is upwards.
7) Let the crab on the beach dry
8) Glue on the weebly eyes.

This activity is great for kids up to 7 or 8 years old if you let them make little boats on the sea, shells on the beach next to the crab, ... you can make it more interesting for the somewhat older kids. Let's face it, they still like weebly eyes too!

Welcome to my blog.

After I found out about the wide blog-community of art-teachters, I decided to start my own blog.

I have been teaching art since 2003 now and I absolutely adore my job! Making kids create is such a thankful way to make a living.

I teach 7th and 8th grade. It's called 1st and 2nd year of secundairy school here in Belgium. All the results are from these grades. But I am convinced many of my ideas can be used for smaller children as well, because I teach children with learning difficulties too.

Hoping that some other art teachers around the world will find ideas they like here, I started this blog.Hope you like what you see.
